The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has discovered that Tai Chi practice is a very cost-effective and proven way to reduce falls. This class introduces practical changes you can make to your environment, your medications, and your attitude to reduce the causes of falls. It teaches you eight simple Tai Chi moves that help retain or regain the balance and posture you need to navigate your way through daily obstacles such as ice, throw rugs, and the grandkid’s Legos.
Falls are a major concern for elderly folks. Hospitals see up to one million patients per year and spend an average of $14,000 on each one. Tai Chi has been proven in scientific studies to help prevent falls. The slow, mindful movements result in more energy, looser joints, and better balance. This class is modeled on the Centers for Disease Control’s STEADI programs, which are designed and tested to reduce falls in seniors.
